Metadata: Wave and current data collected from moorings in the Bristol Channel (2010 - 2011)
Abstract:
This dataset contains wave spectra, wave statistics and current data collected by surface and subsurface moorings across three sites in the Bristol Channel between March 2010 and April 2011. A Datawell Mk.III directional Waverider buoy was moored at one site collecting wave spectra and statistics data while Nortek Acoustic Wave and Current meters (AWAC) were moored at the seabed in trawl resistant frames at two sites. The AWACs collected wave data from the surface and current data through the water column split into 2 m bins. TRIAXYS directional wave sensors with onboard Nortek Aquadopp current profilers were also deployed at the two sites. Like the AWAC moorings, the TRIAXYS moorings collected wave data from the surface and current data through the water column split into 1 m bins. The data were collected as part of the environmental impact assessment of the proposed Atlantic Array offshore wind farm. GEMS Survey Ltd were contracted to conduct the data collection and provided the data to The Crown Estate as the landowner of the UK seabed out to 12 nautical miles. The data and associated metadata reports are held at the British Oceanographic Data Centre, as a MEDIN Data Archiving Centre.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 7884 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Wave and current data collected from moorings in the Bristol Channel (2010 - 2011) |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | British Oceanographic Data Centre record 1048GEMS_wave_current_moorings |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 6c5009b5ab505052ae3ad478a7e8d9ca |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | EDMED6772 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2010-03-09 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2011-04-13 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | asNeeded |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This dataset was created by GEMS Survey Ltd who were contracted to collect metocean data to contribute to the Environmental Impact Assessment of a proposed windfarm in the Bristol Channel. The data were submitted to The Crown Estate, as the landowner of the UK seabed out to 12 nautical miles, and were subsequently loaded to the Marine Data Exchange. The data were manually downloaded from the Marine Data Exchange and processed by the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) as part of BODC’s contribution to the EU European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) Data Ingestion Project. Instrument(s) used to collect data: wave recorders; current profilers. |
